Efficient and selective separation of aqueous sulfate through recognition and precipitation

Sulfate anions are selectively separated from aqueous solution in the form of precipitates by a mono-protonated organic receptor, constructed in situ through anion-templated chemical synthesis.

Thiazolylimines as novel ligand-systems for spin-crossover centred near room temperature

A new thiazolylimine ligand system for iron(ii) complexes which stabilises spin-crossover in solution and solid states with T_1/2 temperatures around room temperature has been developed.

Metal–ligand bifunctional reactivity and catalysis of protic N-heterocyclic carbene and pyrazole complexes featuring β-NH units

The metal–ligand bifunctional cooperation of protic N-heterocyclic carbene and pyrazole complexes bearing an NH unit at the position β to the metal is surveyed.
